The organisers have assured us that all kite flyers will be aware of the boundaries with our club and there will be no flying of kites within our area. However, BVRMC members are reminded about our rule number 5 (not overflying other activities) and pilots should therefore ensure a good distance of separation exists between model aircraft and the kite festival. Blyth Valley Radio Model Club wish the organisers of the kite festival a very successful event.
